 EtherApe has two main modes, live monitoring which can be run on a server machine which will map any packets passing to and from that machine, illustrating with colours the type of packet, as well as by diameter the amount of traffic that type of packet brings. It is also possible to see the different nodes attached , by IP and IPv6 addresses.
 EtherApe's secondary function is a review ability, taking a selection of packets captured either by TCPDUMP command or another piece of capture software. When running the file through EtherApe the program displays the same information as it does with a live capture but reading from the data file imported instead of the live network. A review of files can be done on any machine, regardless of network connectivity.
